Salmos 1

1 Dichoso el hombre que no anda en el consejo de los malvados, ni se detiene en el camino de los pecadores, ni sienta en la silla de los burlones;

[God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

2 sino que su deleite está en la ley de Yahvé. En su ley medita de día y noche.

Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

3 Será como un árbol plantado junto a las corrientes de agua, que produce su fruto en su temporada, cuya hoja tampoco se marchita. Todo lo que haga prosperará.

They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

4 Los malvados no son así, sino que son como la paja que el viento se lleva.

But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

5 Por lo tanto, los impíos no levantarán en el juicio, ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos.

Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

6 Porque Yahvé conoce el camino de los justos, pero el camino de los impíos perecerá.

because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].
